Hugo James Hardy (16 October 1877 – 8 October 1936) was a German tennis player and jurist. He competed in the men's singles and doubles events at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, where he was the only non-American competitor.[2][3]

A lawyer, Hardy was on the board of an early version of the Deutschen Reichsausschuß für Olympische Spiele (DRA), a predecessor to the German Olympic Committee that oversaw sports in the Weimar Republic.[4]

Hardy was born in Hamburg, the son of banker James Nathan Hardy and Helena Ida Noemie Cahn.[5]
